Tech-cash

When we were about to pay for Dad's purchase at Shopwise, this greeted me at the counter.

Shopwise now has automated payment machines!

Yup, you can just enter your bills and coins, and you're done. No more giving your money to the cashier.

Can self checkout counters be next?

More Piso Power

You know you're a Tito when things like P1 grocery promos make you feel excited.

Landers had it again, and this is my haul:

Two Mlika Chocolates and Italian cookies. All for P3!

Cheap thrills indeed.

Peso Power part 2

It's sorta geeky, but supermarket Piso sales really excite me.

Sitting in front of the computer, waiting to find out what products they'll offer, putting it in my cart and eventually checking out - this might sound mundane, but it's bliss for me.

Landers and the Robinsons Group have awesome P1 sales. Landers had one recently, and here's my loot:

Campbells Soup and Asolo Dolce Puff Pastry. And yes, these items just cost me P4!

Power to the Peso!

Another Piso-ffering

You know you've crossed "Tito-world" when you go goo-goo over groceries. Which I do.

Especially those piso deals!

I've written about some of my piso deal finds from Robinsons Supermarket. 

Now, it's time for Landers Supermarket to join the league.

Potato Chips and 4 bars of Johnson's Baby Soap! Both for one peso!

One!

Peso!

Judging by my reaction and enthusiasm, yes, I'm a Tito.

Pisoffering

A few years ago, my concept of "cheap thrills" would be finding clothes from my fave fast fashion brands at 70% off. Or more!

Nowadays, it has shifted to finding P1 grocery items from my usual on-line supermarket haunts.

And this is today's little haul:

These 4 items only cost me P4! Antibacterial wipes, Cadbury Chocolates and Soy Sauce.

Yes, they're random. But that's what fun shopping is supposed to be.

Aside from the fact that they're just ONE. PESO. EACH.

Peso Power

One of the perks of online supermarket shopping?

Random but fun promos! Like being able to buy items for P1! One peso!!!

I've written about this before, and I'll write about it again. That's because I got these yummy soup mixes for only P1 each!

Too bad I could only buy 1 of each.

But this is definitely the best way to spend P1!

Some kind of One-derful

No, this isn’t about the 1987 film with Lea Thompson and Eric Stoltz.

It’s about the fact that when you get older, you get excited about the most domestic things. And in my case, doing groceries excite me.

Especially whenever I find great deals.

Observe:

Each of these items are just one peso each.

ONE.

PESO.

EACH.

P11 For Limited Edition Listerine and Sparkling Fruit Soda!

And that’s my One-derful story for today.

The Co. we keep

Peanut Butter & Co. is one of the brands that I usually buy whenever we visit the U.S. 

Yes, Skippy's and Peter Pan are great, and Lily's Peanut Butter is a sentimental fave, but if my taste buds are looking for a peanut butter spread with a twist, this is my go-to brand.

Aside from the usual creamy and crunchy variants, they have flavours like Maple, Honey, and - my go-to - Dark Chocolate!

Though I'm not sure why exactly, but the taste of Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter takes me back to my childhood. Back in Gandia. Eating breakfast which consists of freshly baked tasty bread and Lady's Choice Chocolate Spread. This product gives me the same feels.

And today, I was able to find Peanut Butter & Co. Dark Chocolatey Dreams in one of my grocery haunts!

Now, I'm in good Co.

Have a bite. Or Two-bites.

Two-bite brownies and cinnamon rolls are my go-to snacks when I visit SG. It's also my "pasalubong" of choice. In fact, my last run before going home is usually to Cold Storage to horde all the Two-bite products that I see.

They don't have these products in Manila, which is a bummer. But in my recent visit to the Landers Supermarket homepage, I found this:

Two-bite Salted Caramel Cupcakes!

Yup, they're from the same makers of the brownies and cinnamon rolls, but it's a totally different product.

But since it's from Two-bite, it immediately went to "add to cart."

Let's see if it's as good as the other Two-bite goodies!
